I got an Exedy Heavy Duty clutch for $420 from Martins Clutch & Brake in Campbelltown.

The cost for installation is pretty hefty, my mechanic quoted me 5 hours, and I can see why. I ended up doing it with the help of a couple of mates, took us 3 days, it is a mission of a job.If you pay someone to do it, expect to pay upwards of $400.

If i'm not wrong, the 32 GTR clutch is the 'Pull Type' not the normal 'Push Type' like the 33 GTST. Pull Type clutches will cost about minimum $700ish for a basic one.

yep, something like that. It's usually the labour that bites you.

i just fitted one into my sons car with his help in a r33 gtst it was one of the clutches brought in here with a group buy. actually fitting time took us about 4 hrs total had to wait a day while getting flyweel machined.hardest part of the job was getting the top bolt of the starter moter altho it went back on easy lol . 350 to 400 bucks sounds about right if there machining the flywheel as well .and while you have it all apart check ya rear main seal as well may as well do it if it looks suss. gearbox took about 3.8 litres of fresh oil as well

good luck with it cheers

If yours is a 33 GTST, then you are looking at 5 hours labour - about $350- 450 depending on your mechanic.

Hence the reason I did mine myself.

You machine the flywheel and do the rear main seal?

yea thanks for al the comments guys just suks a gota do a clutch already only had the car since saturday and im abit short on cash after just buying it and i wana be able to b able to drive it properly but the clutch is rooted wasnt that great wen i got it and after a few nice launches it was all over lol

The flywheel cost $44 to get machined, we checked the rear main and it looked ok so didn't bother changing it. Just changed the flywheel, clutch plate, pressure plate, thrustbearing and gearbox oil. Like I said before, if you are doing it yourself it is a mission. We didn't have a hoist or anything, just the car on stands and 2 jacks to lift the gearbox.

[smurf80]

Well mine went in this morning so I will let you know how it goes.

I know how you feel, mine went a week after I got it too.

alphanumeric: If you have budgeted $400 to put the clutch in, it will probably go over, but not by much. My mechanic quoted me 5 hours, which was $400, but that was an estimate, could be a little more or less, depending on how good your mech is at doing them.

The cost of the flywheel machining will probably put it over, but it will be close. If you are doing the rear main as well, your budget will explode big time.

I can offer you an Exedy Heavy Duty Cushion Button Kit for $570.50 delivered, for details on this clutch click here.

Also I would be questioning your mechanics quote of 5 hours, as I know it's only a 2 hour job, 3 tops if something does not cooperate.

[smurf80]

Got mine done and all is good nice new exedy clutch!

[dano4127]

so what do you expect to pay to have a clutch fitted, i have been quoted $440 that includes getting the flywheel machined

the price seems ok but mabye a little high if it really is just a 2 hour job for a good mechanic or is that what mechanics are charging at the moment?

$200 per hour?

[Freddy Kruger]

had a new clutch put in my 33 gtst last week. cost $335 for the exedy hd clutch from the gb on here plus $470 to instal it inc machining the flywheel.

[dano4127]

ok sweet good to know! what is the clutch like?

[Stel]

I just got my clutch changed to.

425 for the clutch through C & B on the forums and then 360 for the install.

You should be able to get it changed for under 1k.
